Digitization is the animating force of everyday life. Rather than
defining it as a technology or a medium, Contemporary Art and the
Digitization of Everyday Life argues that digitization is a
socio-historical process that is contributing to the erosion of
democracy and an increase in political inequality, specifically
along racial, ethnic, and gender lines. Taking a historical
approach, Janet Kraynak finds that the seeds of these developments
are paradoxically related to the ideology of digital utopianism
that emerged in the late 1960s with the rise of a social model of
computing, a set of beliefs furthered by the neo-liberal tech
ideology in the 1990s, and the popularization of networked
computing. The result of this ongoing cultural worldview, which
dovetails with the principles of progressive artistic strategies of
the past, is a critical blindness in art historical discourse that
ultimately compromises art's historically important role in
furthering radical democratic aims.
